According to CNN US intel shows Russia and China are attempting to recruit disgruntled federal employees, sources say | CNN Politics

Russia and China are focusing their efforts on recently fired employees with security clearances and probationary employees at risk of being terminated, who may have valuable information about US critical infrastructure and vital government bureaucracy, two of the sources said.

It added that foreign intelligence officers were being directed to look for potential sources on LinkedIn, TikTok, RedNote and Reddit.

The adversaries think the employees “are at their most vulnerable right now,” another of the sources said. “Out of a job, bitter about being fired, etc.”

why would they have security clearance if fired?

 

 

Just because they quit their jobs doesn't mean they've had their memories wiped.

I trust you meant that as a joke?  Or are you  channeling the spirit Donald Rumsfeld?

Wouldn't it be treason to divulge info from past employment with the federal government? 

 

Regardless of their feelings about being fired and Trump.

Depending on what information they shared, it could well be.
